Welcome to the Faribault Police Department web page. The Police Department protects human life and property by responding to emergency and nonemergency calls for service, enforces laws and ordinances, investigates crimes, apprehends criminals, provides proactive policing through education and crime prevention, and maintains order.I recently accepted this position and quickly recognized I had joined an exceptional agency that is respected in law enforcement, takes pride in this community, and cares for those we serve. The men and women that work for the Faribault Police Department are committed to providing a quality service to the citizens of this city by working with residents and businesses to maintain a safe community. Through these partnerships, we urge all citizens to be alert for suspicious or unusual activity and any time you need police, fire, or medical assistance, call 9-1-1.
As your chief, I will make certain that we continue to provide impartial policing services, are responsive to the needs of our residents, respectful and honest with those we serve, and foster valuable partnerships that increase our service abilities. With fiscal responsibility, we will also be dedicated to improve services through progressive programs, effective training, and better technology.
Finally, I will guarantee that we are accountable as public servants, operate with integrity and open honest communication, work to ensure the ongoing safety of our community, seek justice for those that we are entrusted to protect, ensure that the quality of living remains high in Faribault, and commit to being tough on crime.
